Media law timetable - I don't get it..i don't get it (1 Viewer)

[dead prez]

someone explain to me why it seems like i'm doing 2 subjects in the first semester: MAS 104 and LAW 113

with what..a total of like 6 hours a week?
????

CUL 100, MAS105 and LAW 103 are in the second semester?

is that right?
huh?
huH?

subjects are on page 346..have a quick look..what did i miss?

 

[iambored]

probably nothing, you may have space to choose some electives. that is, you can choose subjects of interest or subjects which will complement your degree to fill up the space.

yeh you're doing it right, but yeh i think you'll need to slot some more elective units in there if you wanna make the necessary minimum credit points for your degree, not just the core units

 

[dead prez]

where do i find out the minimum number of credit points?

damn this is going to ruin my day

 

[muli]

Ok it's a minimum 116 credit points, with a minimum of 74 law credit points (that's over the 5 years)

By the looks of it you only have 7 optional credit points to play with if you're only intending to meet the minimum, the rest is taken up by core units.

page 438 (red section)

after doing jurisprudence LAW 113 in the first semester

that should technically allow me to do LAW 204 and LAW 205 in the second semester

but they clash on the timetable...is there anyway i can do anything above LAW 100 units in the first year?

no? seems intentional aye? bastards.

thank you all for the input

 

[muli]

how do they clash?

 

[dead prez]

well i would have to complete at least one LAW subject at the 100 level in the first semester if i want to do the (select few) LAW subjects (200 +) in the second which only have a 100 level prerequisite.

and all those (select few) courses are offered only in the first semester

 

[iambored]

if they have 200 units without prerequisites, then you can do them in the first year. or if the prereq is something you do in the 1st semester you can do it in the 2nd semester.


make sure you are aware you can have clashes, you just have to catch up on work (for the subjects you don't go to )later.

 

[dead prez]

sorry clash is the wrong word

"clash" as in its only offered during the first semester....my first semester...which means i haven't completed any 100 units

 

[muli]

That means you should do it in your first semester of your second year

 

[iambored]

yeah you then do it in the 2nd year

 

[dead prez]

uh yeah of course

but i was just saying that given the specific prerequisites...if they offered some of the courses in alternative semesters...i could do more law in the first year

 

[iambored]

yeah that's true, but unfortunately that's not the case
